Donations - Ned Fritz (Edward C. Fritz)

The Ned Fritz Legacy: An Online Biography is a crowd-funded labor of love. All team members are working at half their usual professional rates. The depth of research, photo and video richness of website, and number of excerpt and interviews, depends on YOUR financial support. Please help preserve Ned Fritz’s legacy!

Funding goes to:

• Research and authorship of a 50,000 to 65,000 word biography.
• Creation of dozens of website pages.
• Processing of hundreds of images and photos.
• Production of many assorted graphics.
• Website hosting and maintenance for 20 years.

For a complete list of the tasks needed to create this website, please see What it Takes.

The Ned Fritz Legacy will be complete by the end of summer 2023, so your prompt support is greatly appreciated.

Checks preferred: Please make payable to Ned Fritz Legacy. Send to 980 S Rustic Cir Dallas, TX 75218.
